Delicious Buffets

I truly enjoyed the meals at Elephant Springs, especially the breakfast and dinner served buffet-style. The variety was impressive and everything I tried was delicious! The chefs clearly put effort into the food, and the waitstaff was very professional during our dining experience.

Spacious Family Room

We stayed in a big and spacious family room at Elephant Springs that catered perfectly to our needs. It had a double bed and two twin beds, all with standard amenities like coffee and tea. The room being quite clean made our family getaway even more enjoyable.

Well-Kept Garden

One highlight was the hotel garden; it was exceptionally well-kept with a beautifully green lawn and thriving plants. It was a great spot for relaxation and added to the overall leisure experience during our stay.

I had a wonderful weekend getaway at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and eager to ensure my stay was comfortable. The revamped room was clean and spacious, and I loved the delicious breakfast options. However, I did notice some areas that could use improvement, especially regarding noise levels during the night.

5.0/10

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. While it holds potential due to its location and the effort from some staff members, the cleanliness and the state of the facilities left much to be desired. There were significant issues with our room that made our stay uncomfortable, and the lack of managerial support compounded our frustrations.
